Biden is definitely right about one thing: the debate IS about more than just health care. It's, as Obama also said, about "fundamentally changing the United States of America."
And in contrast, I think most of us agree that America is capable of doing "big things" without Obamacare--a concept apparently lost to the Dems who seem to forget the more than two centuries of American greatness before The Big O came around.
